Here we investigated whether reduced seed yield was a consequence of the reduced pollen viability resulting from temperature stress that has been shown to reduce seed yield in a number of crops such as A. hypogaea (Prasad et al., 2003), Cicer arietinum (Srinivasan et al., 1998), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) (Hall, 2004) and Capsicum species (Reddy and Kakani, 2007).
The study concluded that soil Ca+2 content would limit soybean grain yield as a consequence of cation unbalance in intensive agriculture soil.
Finally, in addition to stress response probably induced by biostimulant application the increase of sugarcane yield is a consequence of the well-known effect of humic substances and plant growth-promoting bacteria in plant physiology.
Table 1 depicts effects of Cd on some of the photosynthetic parameters [Chl (chlorophyll content), Fv/Fm (maximum quantum efficiency of PSII) and PN (Net photosynthetic rate)] which reflect lesions in plants photosynthetic yield as a consequence of damage to the photosystems and pigments (Wang et al. 2009).
Instead, the relationship between growth rate and yield is a consequence of the dependence on the performance of the system on the energy allocation strategy (see Appendix B: Maximising flux to biomass production).
The fast initial saccharification rates resulting from [C4mim]Cl treatment reflect the presence of structural changes while the low final saccharification yields are a consequence of a lower extent of dissolution and indicate the absence of compositional and covalent bonding perturbation in the undissolved solids.
The results show that, for both steam- and co-electrolysis, there is a trade-off between system efficiency and methane yield: pursuing a higher efficiency generally reduces the methane yield, which is a consequence of electrochemistry, stack cooling and system-level heat integration.
Updated at 1.33am BST 1.30am BST The average yield changes as a consequence of climate change have already been "significant," Field outlines.
But when existing physics, in particular, Einstein's theory of gravitation, is set in the context of Eddington's world geometry, it yields a surprising consequence: The Einstein law of gravitation appears as a definition!
Because activity measured by this method operates on a specific feature of the environment and yields a programmed consequence, we refer to it as operant activity.
Essential oil percentage increased, but seed and essence yields decreased as a consequence of water stress in both years.
